Shared appreciation mortgages

I posted yesterday about my parent's mortgage situation.
They have a shared appreciation mortgage with RBS. The mortgage of £60,000 was raised on a property valued at £350,000 at the time. The amount payable on exit is 51% of the appreciation. Can anyone tell me if that is 51% of the total appreciation (property now £660,000) ie £158,1000, or 60/350 x 51% ie £27102, as obviously the loan was only for 17% of the value of the property. Sorry, I'm totally in the dark about the whole mortgage/finance thing!

    51% of the appreciation means just that. The property has increased in value by £310,000 therefore the amount payable would be 51% of that. £158,100 would be right.

    OP - please stick to the board and don't PM anyone like this if you want unbiased and without agenda guidance.

    Are you challenging this ? Or just wanted confirmation on how a shared appreciation (now defunct) works/is redeemed ?
